Review Saint Guitar Company Benchmark
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 16.7.2008




I bought this at the namm show in Anaheim this winter.08 I paid $4600 dollars for this beauty. I couldnt resist. Itnulls 100 percent handmade.

 
 
  Features  
 
Its a single cutaway, walnut back and neck, ultra quilted maple top. The neck work is superb.The frets are all even . . no fret buzz ...no intonation problems. I really like the smooth edges on the frets as well . Its a "c" carved neck and has a wider fretboard than most say "p r s " guitars, and the like. Its much nicer . .sporting a beutifull blue burst over pristine quilted top. Dual seymour duncans, Gotoh 510 tuners and one piece bridge.I cant believe the tone. I opened up the cavity to find some awsome wiring too !! COPLETELY shielded.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Plays like a dream . no dead spots at all. What can i say.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
It sounds and plays better than my Les Paul Custom . . which is now my backup. It was Wayyyy overpriced and not nearly as nice as my Benchmark.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
THIS THING IS A TANK
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
If I lost this thing . . I would be totally upset. . . well actually Im probably going to buy another one. I saw them in the Mesa / Boogie store in hollywood. But . . I called them after namm , and Inullll call them when im ready. They were truly professional. Adam and James . .You Guys ROCK !!!check em out www.stguitars.com I also saw some pictures on myspace.
